why it's good: Tortoise is a very unique band with no elements that they created themselves. If you're well versed with music, you can pick out multiple influences within each song. However, the mixture of all these influences makes for superb results, and this is one of the few bands that I listen to that I've gotten some of my less musically-inclined friends to listen to. This album is also probably in my top 5 favorites.
the song: Fast Canoe
artist name: Polvo
the genre: Indie, Math Rock?
why it's good: Polvo is probably my favorite indie band. They make the guitar really sound like their own instrument, which is pretty hard to do at this point. Their dissonant and jagged chords and song structures are extremely creative and still very enjoyable to listen to.
I might add some more later but I need to go get my wisdom teeth removed
tortoise was just what I needed, however I didn't like polvo as much despite the great guitar each song somehow seemed unfinished, and boring (at least of the few 3 that I listened to)
